Amos 2

It behooves us to work with some of these questions during our walk through the 2nd chapter of Amos this morning:

1. How is it that Amos saw this message in a vision? What did Amos see?
2. What is the relationship between Israel and Judah?
3. How does the Church relate to Abraham's people, Israel?
4. Think of the three faithful Israelites whose words of praise we repeat every day: Zechariah, Mary and >Simeon. What would Amos have said about a nation made of Zechariahs, Marys and Simeons?
5. What is a nazirite?
6. What is the common property of the weapons and fighting men mentioned in vv. 15 and 16?
7. What was the view of Amos concerning the corporal works of mercy?

Let's have a cup of coffee and start here as we see into this wisdom from our God, the perfect Torah of freedom.
